Where can I get the flu shots?

[Anonymous]

Need both the seasonal and H1N1 shots for myself and 14-month-old DC. I live in DC. Where can I find both at the same time (already aware of the H1N1 *only* clinics being offered to DC's age group).

Thanks!

You can't find them both at the same time unless your personal doctor or pediatrician is giving both and will agree to do them at the same time. I tried diligently to do this b/c I wanted my kids to have to go only twice and not four times (they need 2 seasonal flu b/c they've never gotten it before and 2 h1n1 b/c all under 10 year olds need 2). No place is doing both it appears except potentially private doctors and some doctors won't give them at the same time out of an abundance of caution about too many shots even though you are supposed to be able to get them together. My doctors are not giving h1n1 at all. I talked to the MoCo flu hot line and they said they are hoping to be able to give the h1n1 at the Silver Spring flu shot clinic on Oct 31 but that so far they hadn't been able to secure the supply of h1n1 for that clinic and it is therefore only formally scheduled to be for seasonal flu so they couldn't make any promises. Its really awful to have to bring kids for shots 4 separate times. I don't know how I'm going to be able to coax them into it for so many repeats.
